What was your shortest relationship?

Question

What happened?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

She was probably about 5'5. KIDDING!

My relationships have been really brief, followed by years of being single, so I have little to go on, but here it is.

I dated a girl - we knew each other for probably a year as friends, and had become closer about 6 months before deciding to date. She was interested first and started dropping hints. I wanted to take it slow, but thought the things we had in common might be worth giving it a try. But I don't know, I wasn't super physically attracted to her, she wasn't really my type - it wasn't an obvious fit. So tentatively, I said yes to going out, if we took it slow.

Let's just say that the brief story was she'd get way too intense way too quickly. Too many red flags for me. The second she'd get it into her head that we were serious (we weren't at that point), she'd act like a different person. It wasn't much fun dating her most of the time, but it'd just get worse. I'd "break up" with her (but we weren't even really serious, and were barely boyfriend and girlfriend)... she'd be back to acting like her old self - the friend I had known for a good while. A few weeks later, she apologized, admitted to going off the deep end, ask us to start dating again and giving it a try if we took it slower. Made the mistake of doing the second chance thing. Again, it'd be like a week of being ok, then back to sudden intensity and more red flags. I had had enough with it, that time, I cut her out of my life.

At longest, it'd be counted as probably two months. My point of view, it was a month, technically, but really it was more like two weeks, then two weeks again.

3 weeks, the girl used me then ghosted me...

then the shortest serious relationship was 4-6 weeks, she also used me... had to change my number and move cos of how bad she got, she demanded i gave her £300-£400 cos of a debt she had before we met... a speeding fine..
and then she got pissy when she had found out i'd brought my kids a laptop from a catalogue before we met... and demanded i get her a pink one despite only having a set amount of allowance for the initial order.
she almost cost me my job at the time, and even spammed my phone with voicemail, texts and missed calls

I was with a guy for 3 months 2 years ago - he didn't trust me - thought I'd leave him for a hotter or more mature guy so decided to leave before I broke his heart - and he was right in a way - I will not leave a relationship I'm happy in - but he did not make me happy so I kept eyeing other guys when I was with him - it was his fault too - he never affirmed me or said positive compliments or showed me any special privileges even though I was supposed to be the top lady in his life

Probably the latest one, a month? We weren't official, so I'm not completely heartbroken. I spent every weekend over at his place for 4 weeks, he felt so safe and nice. In the end he said he didn't think we would work long term, which I respect. In the end I am more a type of 'I want long term relationships, but I won't think too hard about how a future would be with someone'. Things usually work out if you like each other enough. He didn't argue the same way and that's fine

aWes0MeNeSs · Answer

9 months. It was my first relationship in high school, and he began treating me with disrespect, acting weird and flaky, and flirting with one of my closest friends. They got together the SAME DAY we broke up. Talk about a double backstabbing and a lot of hurt.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Dependent how you define "relationship.". I have plenty one-and-done's but those aren't relationships.

Moonchild714 · Answer

About 5 hours I was 19, he asked if I wanted to go together, I said sure. We had fun partied Fucked. My friends and I were talking about plans for the next day and he said "What are you doing tomorrow?" I said "Excuse me, we're together a few hours and you think you have the right to know my every move? I don't think so, I will not be controlled by anyone!! We are so Over!!!" With most of my relationships as I was saying to them I was also figuring out my Exit Strategy and I thought that was totally logical...

Anoniemus · Answer

2 days. I was 14, he was 24. All we did was kiss (and I dated him because I wanted to brag about how I got an older man... lol). I gave him my phone number, we talked on the phone for a bit. Eventually, I found out that he didn't have a job or a car (not even a permit). So I dumped him.

SirRexington · Answer

It was recent. It lasted about a week or less.

A girl I've known for years but got back in touch with recently and I started dating. I went over to her house, we watched TV, cooked, talked, hugged... gosh I adore her hugs. Its so hard to let go. She and I agreed to start seeing each other after we unexpectedly kissed. For about 25 minutes we kissed and fooled around. This was the first time for me in yesrs. Sadly we never got to have sex. But she was forced to leave her apartment after getting into an altercation with her roommate. She moved out of town where her family is. So now she's 3 hours away. This happened about 5 days after we began officially dating. Now we don't know where we stand.

AllThatSweetJazz · Answer

4 days.

A friend I had been sweet on for a year finally came around. She asked me to be in a relationship with her if I still wanted it, of course I said yes.

4 days pass. I was cautiously optimistic. In spite of my best efforts I was more optimistic than cautious apparently. Out of the blue I get a text saying that I’ll never see her again. That hurt, a lot.

She was 8 years younger than me, and I think she decided that her family would disapprove of us because of the age, so after over a year of growing closer she just threw it all away.

I’m not sure what I could have done differently but I felt like that was my last chance at something real. It’s been two years and only now does the anguish seem to be subsiding, perhaps that because 7 months ago I decided I just wouldn’t try to converse with women anymore. I’ve had only one or two conversations with women in that time. It’s been pretty chill, I get to focus on making sure my guy friends have a good time.

Anonymous · Answer

8 months, it was my first relationship lol. before that I've always thought that the first guy would be something. you know first love and shit, but nah.

we broke up because me and my family had to move far (way too far) away. we tried to do the ldr thing but that obviously wasn't for us. I was 17 and he was 19. 5 months together in person and 3 months of ldr. it ended badly. we were in the middle of an argument when we broke up. we didn't talk (or rather text) until a few months later. we just asked how we were doing and haven't spoken to each other since then. I just laugh thinking about how we both thought it was gonna work.

he's with someone else now, and I, too. I can see he's happy with the person he's with. actually glad for him.

TsundereMatrix · Answer

3 days. It was in high school. My friend set it up and the guy I liked at the time didn’t really like me back but he agreed to date anyway and yeah... 3 days later I called it off because he was telling everyone that we weren’t dating. I don’t think you can call that a real relationship anyway.

SimpleRhubarb · Answer

Less than one month. I was in 7th grade, so I'm not sure if it even counts as a relationship. He was my first crush, and we started "dating" right before winter break. He got super excited immediately and started saying "I love you," and I freaked out. Lost all feelings for him and dumped him. He tried to pretend I hadn't!

Kurαȷ · Answer

My shortest relationship was a little less than 2 months of dating an older woman whose sexual beliefs were incompatible with mine.
She expected physical intimacy pretty much from the beginning which I didn't agree with, she lasted about 2 months until she blew up, called me lame and stormed off.

spuitkaas · Answer

A week or so? I had sort of a group hang that ended up in a date and after had sex with him. Then we hung out more, cooking together, doing things that week and had more sex, but he broke it off because he was too busy with his engineering study. I kinda get it, because I was an exchange student who was going to leave in a few months and this housemate of his was acting weird so better call it quits early.
It was fun though. He was a cool guy. Wish it lasted a bit longer.

Lliam · Answer

My first one. She was 15 and I was 16. I had been a virgin but she had had a previous boyfriend. We were together for a few months and had a really good time. I liked her but I eventually traded up for a girl who I thought was cuter. I did that a few times when I was young.

ecfresh · Answer

We dated for about 5 weeks but I never did see her as attractive. I was trying to not be shallow because she wasn’t physically attractive to me and trying to see if I fell in love with her personality. In the end I didn’t want to lead her on so after 5 weeks I just told her I didn’t have any romantic feelings for her.

Jooying · Answer

I didn’t count it as one of my relationship but it was a 2 weeks one.
Basically he’s a kind, charming guys with warm sweet heart when he chased me. Then after few days we together, his true face coming out, we have so many “not in common” that’s why I decide to cut it short to prevent future sadness.

Bman4907 · Answer

11 hours. stopped by my barracks room to pick something up with her, then the next morning, I opened my door and boom, there she was on a blanket on the grass with one of the other marines from my barracks. she looked up, saw me, and ran to his room. I just kind of stood there saying "wtf."

On a positive note, the next time I saw her, she had one of the ugliest babies I have ever seen. So karma was quite nice.

Rose_88 · Answer

A day he wanted an relationship with me than said later on that night he wasn’t ready and it’s not me it’s him. He lied to me, his dating his ex and telling girls his single. Once I told him I’m not interested in sexting with him he told me to delete him from social media and to not talk too him. Men like that suck.

girlinthisworld · Answer

One day.

He took me by surprise and asked me to make it official and I said yes because I didn't know what else to say... this was on the 5th date and I didn't feel it had reached this point yet.

Had to tell him the next day that I didn't think we should be together.

Purplemonkey24 · Answer

Not sexual 10 days lol. Sexual 5 months.
Not sexual- it was middle school, just to piss someone off.
Sexual- his dad died and he shot up the liquid morphine his dad was prescribed. I tried to stay but he left me. didn't want me to watch him go down hill.

Lloyd_the_Ace · Answer

Some bitch on the playground was dared to be my girlfriend and I foolishly said yes not knowing it was a dare. It lasted about a day.

Anonymous · Answer

This probably doesn't count as a real relationship, but 3 hours! During high school there was a guy I talked to in the lunch line for a few weeks. He asked for my number and I gave it to him. He texted me that day and asked if I would be his girlfriend and I agreed. He then asked for a picture. I said sure! And sent him a picture of me smiling. He asked for another, and I sent him another one. He then asked for "sexy pictures". I said no and broke up with him lmao

Trooper205 · Answer

Ugh. A Catfish. I "met" someone online, and we got "attached". To "seal the deal", that person told me to get naked and send Her lots of pictures of myself. She often made me take videos of myself masturbating to Her photos She'd send. I was allowed to eat or everything with Her permission... Any disobedience, and I would be punished with financial fees and worshipping Her. I backed out of the relationship FAST.

sweattdogg · Answer

It was about 10 years ago I met this female and we hit it off real quick. It was a couple of days later we were at a party and she was flirting openly with one of my best friends the next day my best friend told me that they got together later that night. It was less than a week that's why I say concentrate on your breathing because if not things can go wrong fast hope that helps you out and as always with all due respect

wildbilly123 · Answer

3 years it was my last relationship, the first time i had ever cheated on. When i had to fly back to Ohio from Las Vegas to care for my mother. I stayed 28 days, took care of my mom, flew back to Vegas and my best friend told me. I left her immediately, within 2 weeks my mom got in a bad way so i jumped into my 99 Cadillac STS and drove it this time. Took care of my mother until she passed last May... have been single every since.

Inexpensivefurniture · Answer

When is it considered a relationship? Because my first/only serious relationship lasted 11 months and after that I went on two dates with a guy and then we decided it wasn't gonna work. So it's one of those

Day and a half, secondary School. She asked me out, second day she wanted to do something. I was busy so she called it off saying I didn't have enough time for her. Just kinda a WTF moment 😂.

tinylittlemystery · Answer

3 months. Over time his true colors started to show. He would make racist jokes about hispanic people (we are both hispanic too, but he really hated that side of him), made fun of my whole family, rarely took care of himself, frown on my ambitions and beliefs etc. Basically very toxic just to name a few. To this day, he has no idea why I broke up with him.

tooturntT · Answer

A couple of days and I ended it Bc I felt like a bitch for saying no when he asked me if I’d be his girlfriend. I felt worse for leading him on though.

Bee-Hatch · Answer

One night.  Any first date that didn't go any further had a lifespan of a couple of hours. Chatting online or texting before you meet isn't part of a relationship.

Neo22 · Answer

One night... broke my heart... she was so younger than me... we hit it hard and deep 😱 was so so magnetic and magical... I told her we may not be able to be together... then she left and blocked all connections with me
